Hello everyone,

Well, I think these emails are getting harder and harder to write out. I am so sorry if this one ends up being short. I just feel like... why write a long letter when I can talk to you about it in like a few days. Life on a mission gets really tough when you approach the end. Satan likes to make you feel like you haven't done enough, even though you have spent every ounce of energy trying to be the hardest working missionary out there. You also have all of these weird dreams about the future. I am not digging it. You also get all nervous and excited and you feel pretty much every emotion in the book. Oh.. I forgot to mention. Your tear ducts really decide to open up. I feel like I cry any time I feel the spirit, and as a missionary that is like always. Don't worry. It is tears of joy.

Well, to be honest this has been one of the most frustrating weeks on a mission. This week was spring break and since our ward is super rich literally everyone in our ward boundaries went on a vacation. Literally no one was home. Oh it was so hard to see people. Anyways, so sorry for complaining.

On the bright side... I learned how to lay hard wood floors this week. I think we can add that one to the resume, right? We helped a young single adult do it. It was a lot of fun and a lot of work. Speaking of a lot of work. We volunteer at a Nature Center. When it snows people put gravel down so it is not super slippery. Well, now that all of the snow is pretty much gone the gravel needed to be removed from the parking lot. The park rangers gave us five brooms, some shovels and some sand bags. We swept the entire parking lot and bagged all of the gravel. It was an adventure! Speaking of adventures. This week Sister Strong and I cleaned a hoarders house. Boy o boy. I cannot say much more other than the fact that we got a 4x4 foot square cleared. That is improvement right?

Well, this week we had interviews with the mission president. It was weird thinking that was the last one before my exit interview in about a week or so. The interview this week was all about the future. Nothing really about it had to do with missionary work. That was pretty awkward, oh well!

Well, D, The lady I met at the DMV. We called her this week and she wanted to come to church. Sadly, yesterday she was a no show at church, but there is always next week. Hopefully, we can start actually teaching her this week.

We did have an awesome lesson with a part member family. The husband is a non-member. We had an awesome lesson about God's love. The spirit was so strong :) He even started to cry. I love when people feel the spirit! It is the best :)

Well, I think that is all I have for this week. I hope you are all doing well! I love you! Look for opportunities to share what you know to be true. It will 100% change your life.
